Sadly Over-hyped

Better Late Then Never

Awesome Movie

What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

This is a very enjoyable and funny movie that is what I call an "easy watcher" that you don't have to invest too much into, you just have to kick back and get ready to laugh. It's a simple story but Bill Murray is brilliant as pretty much always he is, and this movie is a gem of a film that I think is one of the most underrated comedies of its era.Bill Murray in "The Man Who Knew Too Little" gives us that perfect no-brainer movie everyone in the family should love. Murray stars as a bumbling, clueless American who visits his brother in London on his birthday - unfortunately he's such a buffoon who embarrasses his brother in front of his associates that he is gotten rid of by the brother who "treats" him to a live gaming/theatre event where he will be playing a spy. He's teamed up with an obviously stereo-typically gorgeous female co-spy he hits the town and gets to work, playing it up as a super-spy. Soon he's killing enemy agents left and right.This is a very physical comedy and Murray shines, and it's really just a very silly and completely predictable script but it never fails to deliver laughs which is what this kind of movie is all about. Along with Quick Change this is a Bill Murray comedy masterpiece that deserves much more credit.

Wallace Ritchie (Bill Murray) flies from Des Moines, Iowa to London on his birthday to surprise his brother James (Peter Gallagher). James can't have Wallace in an important business dinner. James set him up with an improv group which places the participant in a realistic crime drama. However it goes all wrong when Wallace answer the payphone used by the improv group but it turns out to be a man hiring hit-man Spencer to kill call girl Lori (Joanne Whalley). The real Spencer answers the call from the improv group and kills one of the actors. Wallace goes along with the intrigue thinking all the while that it's make-believe.This is fun for about 30 minutes. Bill Murray is irreverent and stupid. However the one-joke movie gets a bit boring. It becomes rather repetitive and rambling.

www.tgchan.pl 21 minutes have passed and it is already good xDHilarious misunderstanding and I already can't wait to see more! Bill Murray has a natural charm in, such as these roles! It is a decent movie but there is no wow and oh moments in it, it just keep its pace without any greater ups and downs. I expected a little more from it... I don't think I would enjoy it, if it wasn't for Bill Murray. It wasn't bad... but it wasn't good either... There are lot of other better films out there. If you truly don't have anything better to watch or you merely desire to see Bill Murray go for it, if not... look for something else.tgchan's rating 5.5 /10

The audience (fed up by the horrendous Hollywood crap), clearly was not able even to start appreciating the pure elegance of the movie. Bill Murray enjoys himself, camera man likes his work, Rusian spies are charming. Rest of the cast are on par.The very end is fishy, but thats a comedy after all!I just could not believe my eyes when I saw a 6.2 rating for the movie. The is the most "French-like" (i.e. frivolous, not pompous, not a hint of a usual dull American humor) American comedy I ever saw.Those who like the Ground Hog Day, will appreciate the irony, ease and elegance.
